Inside the compact housing, precision die-cast gears drive a helical-wound cable to deliver control with minimum lost motion, while a quick response of 3 turns lock-to-lock keeps steering tight and responsive. The rotary helm unit uses a 3\/4 inch tapered shaft and is sized to occupy minimum space behind the dashboard, making it a practical fit for helm stations with limited clearance. Cable output ends are stainless steel for corrosion resistance at the connection points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis helm is designed for boats up to 24 feet in length using a single engine, with steering wheels up to 16 inches in diameter. A twin cable system, which this dual helm supports, is recommended for boats that exceed 50 mph or that experience steering instability from engine flutter, giving the steering more resistance to kickback under higher speed or rougher conditions. The helm is finished in black.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e SeaStar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e SH4952P\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteering System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Safe-T Quick Connect, dual cable helm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTurns Lock-to-Lock:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 turns (quick response)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaft Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/4 inch tapered shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGear\/Cable Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Precision die-cast gears with helical-wound cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Output Ends:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Recommended Boat Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single engine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Steering Wheel Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.6 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 731957087379\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat boats is the SeaStar SH4952P designed to fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SH4952P is designed for boats up to 24 feet in length using a single engine, with steering wheels up to 16 inches in diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the SH4952P a single cable or dual cable helm?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a dual cable helm, meaning it is built to run two steering cables from the helm to the outboard or sterndrive rather than one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many turns lock-to-lock does the SeaStar SH4952P have?\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 turns lock-to-lock, giving quick steering response at the wheel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size shaft does the SH4952P use?\u003c\/strong\u003e The helm has a 3\/4 inch tapered shaft, sized to occupy minimum space behind the dashboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy would I need a dual cable system instead of a single cable helm?\u003c\/strong\u003e A twin cable system like the one the SH4952P supports is recommended for boats that exceed 50 mph or that experience steering instability from engine flutter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material are the cable output ends made of on the SH4952P?\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel, for corrosion resistance where the cables connect to the helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the SeaStar SH4952P weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SH4952P weighs 10.6 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the SH4952P helm?\u003c\/strong\u003e Black.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the SH4952P helm?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SeaStar SH4952P is finished in black.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the SH4952P work with twin engines?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the SH4952P is specified for boats using a single engine; it is not rated for twin-engine steering setups in the available specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between the SH4952P and the SH94952P?\u003c\/strong\u003e The SH4952P is the 4.2 NON NFB Dual Cable Helm, while the SH94952P is the 4.2 NON NFB Dual Tilt Helm, which uses a separate tilt mechanism to complete a tilt steering installation.
